NriIret as an Art Student

One OF Millet-s boy friends and com
p~anions knew him first in the City OF
~Cherbourg, a few miles from the
Artists birthplace, the city where he
received his first lessons In art. He had
heard how the young peasant Millet
tried TO initiate the engravings in his
Bible duIing the MONDAY rest, how he
drew the figures about him, and COW
cred the fences with sketches, until his
father took him to Cherbourg ito see
whether he could make a living by this
business When the artist to whom
they went saw Millet's drawings, he
sad to the father: "Y0u must be jok-
ing, That young man there did not
make these drawings all alone"
And when convinced that they were
really the boys work, he exclaimed:
''Ah, you have done wrong to keep
him so long without instruction, for
your child has in him the making OF a
great artist"
Presently the Municipal Council OF
Cherbourg awarded Mlllet a meager
pension that he might study art in
Paris. But the Councilmen expected
the artist, in return, to send back
large paintings to the city museums.
although he could not live upon the
pension. They became angry at his
delay; and he, finally, bought an I'M
mensec canvas, and In three days painted
a picture of Moses breaking up the table
of stone. He vanished it at once and
sent it to the museum. But as the pic
ture was vanished before the paint had
dried, it soon began to crack. Now
the picture looks SO old that some Of
the good people take it for a painting
by Michael Angelo. Then the Coun-
eilmen asked Millet to paint a 20 tIait
of the Mayor, who had recently died.
MilIet had never seen him; but from
an old miniature likeness he painted a
beautiful portrait, the face seen in q
three-quarters front view. Wishing
models for the hands, Millet found a
man In the n~eighborhood who had
finely shaped hands. This man. as it
happened, had been imprisoned for
finished and shown to the Councilmen,
they sent for Millet and told HIM that
they were greatly d~ispleased. The
likeness was good, they said, but there
were two grave faults: The artist had
painted a three-quarters view of the
late Mayor, whereas his Honor inva
riably .entered the Council Chamber
facing straight forward; and, secondly,
1t was shame I'll to have used the hand
of a mau who had been in prison as
the model for the hand of a man 80
good as the late Mayor. Poor Milletl
There was nothing for him to say to
people so simple aud ignorant as these.

Dr.. A. r. B~arckhardt, Of Basic,
warmly recommends a simple and
small apparatus for determining the
amount of carbonic acid in the air Of
schools, hospitals. etc., invented by Dr..
Schaffer, of Berne. The apparatus is
biased on the fact that diluted lime
water gives a violet red stain on phen.
lolphtalein paper, which STAN disappears
lin the air containing carbonic acid, aud
does so the more rapidly the larger the
amount of the acid present in the ar.
1t Is only necessary to mark the time
which has been required for the disap
peaIance of the stain and to consult an
appended table which shows the amount
of the acid corresponding to the time.

Some si.iceous pebbles which are
quite numerous in the quarternary
gravels Of the LONG Valley, Fran e.,
have been described by Meunier.
These stones-about an inch aud a half
in diameter-are remarkable for being
hollow, and inclosing water. together
frequently with a loose stony nucleus.
Meunier supposes that the water must
have penetrated the pebbles through
their minute pores, for not a sign of a
crack can be seen, even by the aid Of a
strong glass.
